	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1864, Salinas.  Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency.
   Existing law, the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency Act,
grants to the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency various powers
for the purposes of water management within its boundaries, including
the power to regulate groundwater replenishment programs and
recapture supplemental groundwater made available by these programs.
The act declares that the purpose of the agency is to manage
existing and supplemental water supplies to ensure sufficient water
supplies for present and anticipated needs.  The act defines
"supplemental water" to mean water imported from outside the
watershed of the groundwater basin and certain conserved flood
waters.
   This bill would modify the definition of supplemental water to
include recycled water.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 316 of the Pajaro Valley Water Management
Agency Act (Chapter 257 of the Statutes of 1984) is amended to read:

  Sec. 316.  "Supplemental water" means surface water or groundwater
imported from outside the watershed or watersheds of the groundwater
basin, flood waters that are conserved and saved within the watershed
or watersheds which would otherwise have been lost or would not have
reached the groundwater basin, and recycled water.
